Families in #Uvalde should not be facing #Thanksgiving without their #children today —

#Gun deaths are a policy choice

Let’s prioritize #family and pass #GunControl legislation in all 50 states.

Today is Thanksgiving Day, and it is also the National Day of Mourning, which remembers the genocide of millions of Native Americans and their ongoing erasure today.

In giving thanks today, let us also reflect and act to stop the ongoing genocide of America's Indigenous Peoples.

Thanksgiving can be a difficult time for many.

Someone you love may need support. Please share liberally.

Thanksgiving is complex - my mind is on Indigenous histories & futures; our polluting, cruel food systems & the people who are brutally underpaid to support it; people whose hearts are hurting this season.
...AND (because I'm learning that being an adult means keeping multiple truths at once) I'm so thankful for the family and friends who have kept me afloat the past few difficult years.

Sending #love to you, no matter where and how you are 💕 Let's keep making change!

#thanksgiving #grateful

What do you do if you end up with more data than can fit in your dissertation (or book or article)?

My latest on how knowing which kind of story you're writing can help you figure out which pieces to publish first and what to do with the leftover bits.

You May Be Early, but You're Not Wrong: A Covid Reading List | Jessica Wildfire

There’s no permanent immunity from this virus. Each time we catch it, this virus attacks our hearts and minds. It weakens us. It tries to kill us. It imprints on us, so a future variant has a better shot next time.

That next time could be a few months later.

* Here are the key points:
* You can catch Covid multiple times.
* Reinfections are common, not rare.
* Breakthrough infections are common.
* Covid can kill you months after you recover.
* It can cause brain damage.
* It can cause blood clots and heart attacks.
* It doesn’t spare children.
* Vaccines help, but only some.
* Masks work.

White parents pulled their children from school. White teachers refused to teach her.
